Re: Seeking LilyPond Engravers for Paid Work

[Mason Hock]

Sounds good, Chris. You might still consider "paying it forward" with a
license that respects your software's users' freedom
<https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html> as Lilypond respects
yours. If not for your EULA I'd happily engrave for your business and
recommend your product to performers and composers, but I won't press
you further on the issue.

Best wishes and happy engraving.
